A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 86

She suddenly forgot how to cook with him around. She was flustered. The frying pan heated up but she forgot to turn on the cooker hood and she forgot to cut the vegetables. He quickly turned off the fire, “Be careful, you almost started a fire!”

Sherry came to her senses and said, “Go out, I can handle it on my own.”

She was nervous and uncomfortable because of his presence and even forgot how to fry the vegetables.

“I’ll help you! The vegetables haven’t been cut. What are you thinking about?” William was puzzled and looked at her. He walked over to cut the cucumber but the cucumber was too small and his hands were too large. They were too slippery when he held onto them. He also didn’t know how to cut them. When he sliced down, the cucumber was simply split into two.

“I’ll do it!” Sherry looked at his clumsy actions and couldn’t imagine that he was a venerable businessman in the industry. Looking at his hands, it was clear that he never did chores and remarked that everyone had their strengths and merits.

William frowned, “It looks easy but why can’t I cut it?”

“How do you want them cut?” She asked.

“Slices.” He said and handed the knife to her.

“Okay!” She positioned the cucumber and started to slice them.

He looked on as the cucumber started to be thinly sliced by her lively hands. He was surprised at how nimble her hands were.

His heart ached when he thought about her returning the entire 7.5 million yuan to him and asked, “Do you like doing housework?” As he said, he looked around the tidy apartment which reinforced his opinion.

She was stunned, stopped and placed the cucumber slices into the plate, and answered, “Yes, somewhat.”

After saying this, she felt strange about their interaction. It felt good that they did not quarrel.

Sherry smiled as she looked at him, “You never did any housework, have you?”

He laughed immediately and was more charming than before. Sherry was stunned when she looked at his smile. This man was dangerously dashing and handsome. She quickly lowered her head and started to blush.

He looked at her intensely, “You sliced them very well!”

“Erm!” She was flustered and looked directly into his eyes. Both of them were dazed and didn’t know that they had fallen into each other’s hearts.

He suddenly laughed and she came to her senses and lowered her head.

“You must be very happy tonight.” He said.

“Of course!” She was definitely happy to have finally found her son and continued, “I will be very happy every day as long as you don’t hide Sammy from me.”

“Oh? Really?” He was startled and pondered deeply.

She suddenly felt the conversation very strange as if they had known each other for a long time. Even she felt that something was abnormal. In front of him, she will always lose control of her emotions. Normally she didn’t like to speak much especially in front of ‘strangers’. But when she was with him, she kept getting angry. Before she knew about his connections with her, she already had those inexplicable mood swings.

Strangers? She stared at William and wondered if he was a stranger.

He was and yet he wasn’t…

She quickly shook her head and thought about a scene in ‘The Dream of the Red Mansion’ when Jia Baoyu first met Lin Daiyu and said, “I know this young lady!”

She felt her face heat up and realized that she must be blushing.

She quickly looked down in order to hide her sudden embarrassment and quickly said, “You won’t hide him from me, correct?”

He stared at her face and wondered why her face became so red all of a sudden. The pair of red cheeks tugged his heartstrings once again. He didn’t like that kind of feeling. He only once had those feelings for Lucy. But Lucy was gone, gone, gone! He took a deep breath felt that he needed to smoke!

“I won’t hide him from you!” He declared like it was a promise to her.

“Thanks!” She looked up and thanked him sincerely. The lights shone on her face and her fair complexion revealed two round red patches. Her eyes were clear, contented, and serene.

She began to fry the vegetables and made cucumber with egg soup. The dishes were simple but beautiful.

He continued to look at her silently. She handed the dishes to him and said, “Take them to the dining table.”

“Okay!” He did as he was told.

The next morning, William sent the kids to the school and kindergarten and Sherry went to work.

William slept by himself on Dan’s small bed while Sherry slept with the kids. She felt very blissful to have two kids for the first time.

The television on the public bus was broadcasting the news. Sherry happened to sit under the television and didn’t take notice of it initially. But then she heard “The CEO of Rowland group’s authority had been rescinded and William was no longer the CEO”, she was shocked!

Why wasn’t he the CEO of Rowland Group anymore?

The scene turned to William facing the reporters. William was calm and collected while frowning tightly and said, “No comments!”
